Summary: Astonishing
Review: Beautiful, magnificant,astounding, and wonderful...are the words that are best described for this book. I purchased this book in 1998 let some girlfriends borrow it and never saw it again until now, after I went and purchased it again. This book is perfect to read during your girls night out or during a cuddling session with the one you love or lust after. I suggest any reader who loves books written by black authors to purchase this one and add it to your collection. Rememer this is a not a coffee table book once it's in your presence you won't be able to put it down ..its that good

Summary: Read and then go find your partner
Review: Erotique Noir is a tool in the world of love, lust and sex. Among these pages there is something for everyone and just like in sex, where no one should walk away disappointed, with this book you won't. Erotique Noir has a host of different artist from the African Diaspora who explore different forms of sensuality and sexuality. This anthology is filled with short stories, poems, book excerpts, and antidotes. It even has a sexual horoscope so that you may discover where some of your sexual proclivities hail from. Some of the stories deal more with innuendos and their sexuality is beautifully written in lyrical languages. Others are right out there with it, using sexual language that is so bold and exciting it will have you turning on your ceiling fan. No matter who you are this book can cater to you as a sexual being. However be warned, it's not for the faint at heart or those unwilling to open their minds beyond their bedrooms. Also it helps if you have your partner near by. Enjoy!...

Summary: The Standard Bearer
Review: For my money, this is the best collection of African diaspora erotica ever assembled--perhaps the best erotica of any kind. It contains poetry, fiction, and essays, it is gay, straight, and kinky, there is stuff by big names and small, so you can say that there's something for everyone. What sets this work apart is the high quality of its selections. It is a virtual encyclopedia of brown heat. When I first read it, I said to myself: "It is too bad, but I suspect there will never be another one like this." A couple other collections have since made worthy contributions to the genre, but this one is the granddaddy of them all. It set the standard, and what a high standard indeed.

Summary: Damn good
Review: I bought this book about 6yrs ago and now I'm on my third copy. My girlfriend use to have dinner parties with poetry readings and i would never participate. I finally decided I would use the book to read from. I picked out a poem called (Baby). For the next 10 min I could have gotten anything I wanted from any woman in the room. The poem was just that Damn GOOD.

Summary: my, it's getting soooo hot in here...
Review: i rarely read books more than once...if i do, it's because i have missed something or i may have not gotten the story or i may have liked it so much that i wanted to experience it again...this is a book i have bought and read more than once...it is that good. when i first read it, i had not read alot of erotica, especially black erotica, and i love sex. so when i thumbed through it and saw erotic poetry along with fiction and essays, i didn't think twice about it. i had never know black people could be so free and open with their sexuality. in this anthology, the black writers define their own sexuality, not white people. the tastes here range from tasteful, to freaky. there's something here for everybody: masturbation, gay and lesbian,bondage, interracial. i have always had an interest in interracial stories.and the ones by trey ellis and chester himes here are my favorites.audre lorde has an excellent essay on the erotic here. yana west has a couple of stories that will definately get a rise out of you. these black writers are here to share their erotic fruits. savor them.

Summary: THE PERFECT BEDTIME STORY TO SHARE WITH THE ONE YOU LUST..
Review: This book was put together very well. It shows the sensual, erotic side to African Americans. It blends the softness of poetry to the naughtiness of short stories. I would recommend to all young couples in lust to read one another a poem or short story, it truly helps you to reach your sexual peak.

Summary: Collections and activity suggestions are outstanding
Review: What makes this collection stand out so profounding, havign been out for years is not only that it's African_American but that it's good. It's intelligent. From poetry to fiction to experiemntal pieces that confront the reader with concepts of race to sex and back again.
This book in no way apologizes nor quite celebrates in a verbose way, it more of seduces and suggests and laughs and tickles and plays with the whole genre of race and sexuality themes and questions.
It takes the question of what particularly ...[African-American]folks find erotic and displays it as Gypsy Rose Lee did, suggesting, throwing out the vulgar as possible, and then going even further and winking and crooking a finger.
You laugh out loud and then shift with a dark smile.
I give it constantly as a gift and spend more time replacing my own copy as it keeps getting pinched. There is something about African-American sexuality that fascinates like aliens on Mars. Erotique Noir is strong enough of an anthology to not pander into this racist fetish but instead stare it boldly in the eye and ask whether or not it can handle this story or that poem or this one haiku.
And as an absolute party activity you have to pass around the Sex Signs section and everyone must read theirs aloud. Can't be too many people, I've found that about 10 tops but somehow it frees people up to really have a ribauld discussion, a Q&A and even a rveelation or two that puts people at ease about things we all want to talk about or have questions about.
A wonderful book.
